Numbers 6:6–12

⁶‘All days of his keeping separate to Jehovah, near a dead person he doth not go; ⁷for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister—he is not unclean for them at their death, for the separation of his God is on his head; ⁸all days of his separation he is holy to Jehovah.

⁹‘And when the dead dieth beside him in an instant, suddenly, and he hath defiled the head of his separation, then he hath shaved his head in the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he doth shave it, ¹⁰and on the eighth day he bringeth in two turtle-doves or two young pigeons unto the priest, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, ¹¹and the priest hath prepared one for a sin-offering, and one for a burnt-offering, and hath made atonement for him, because of that which he hath sinned by the body, and he hath hallowed his head on that day; ¹²and he hath separated to Jehovah the days of his separation, and he hath brought in a lamb, a son of a year, for a guilt-offering, and the former days are fallen, for his separation hath been defiled.
